148 Somerville Road, Yarraville, Vic 3013

Brunch in Seddon or a long lunch in the Yarraville village and a film at the Sun. Here, you simply pick a direction and wander, returning home to a cottage where heritage charm and modern comfort live in easy balance.

Behind a white picket fence and landscaped front gardens, the home reveals its period soul – soaring ceilings, decorative cornices and elegant timber floorboards that carry the quiet grace of another era. The separate central lounge offers a place to unwind, while the light-filled meals and living area becomes the everyday heart of home, anchored by a modern kitchen.

Two generous bedrooms, both with built-in robes, offer calm retreats. Every space is wonderfully adaptable, easily shaped into a home office or playroom as life evolves, with split-system heating and cooling keeping every season comfortable.

Then there's the garden. North facing and beautifully landscaped, it's where afternoons stretch out beneath the pergola and long lunches drift into evening, the light lingering well past dinner and the generous citrus trees always on hand for the next round of drinks.

At the rear, secure off-street parking with an automatic roller door opens onto the laneway. Yarraville Village, Seddon, local schools and parks are all just a stroll away.
